Highly recommended--Nien Cheng--Life and Death in Shanghai
https://www.amazon.com/Life-Death-Shanghai-Cheng-Nien/dp/0802145167
I first read an excerpt in Time Magazine.
In 2014 or so, I read the whole book.
It was my privilege and honor to meet and interview Nien Cheng in c1998.
1997-2001
I worked at Radio Free Asia and was job harassed by the jerk boss of
the Burmese section and his two women so-called editors when my programs
became very popular in Burma.
Subsequently, I saw Nien Cheng's autographed photo in 2001 in a psychiatrist's office and he (Michael Hurd) also interviewed me on his Michael Hurd Show, for radio.
